Positives

Wonderful staff, responsive and professional. There were no inconveniences when communicating with the sanatorium staff. I was worried about some of the negative reviews here about them, but everything went great. If it's important to anyone, the entire staff speaks excellent Russian. Not everything is in English. A separate positive review for the girl in charge of the salt cave. And a young man doing water aerobics. Unfortunately, I don't know what their names are.

Negatives

Minor problems related to food. The food was snapped up instantly, but it was not replenished as quickly as we would have liked. Popular dishes run out quickly and at some point are no longer replenished. For some reason, there is a particular shortage of potato dishes. It also turned out that paper napkins are provided in the room only once a month. When I checked in, they were no longer there and the maid had no opportunity to report them. Room cleaning is average. In general, do not forget that the sanatorium is three-star and, in my opinion, earns its three stars.

A wonderful sanatorium for elderly people with age-related diseases. Having been here, many patients repeat treatment at Krivan more than once. The sanatorium staff is professionally trained and works harmoniously as a single team. All employees are attentive and friendly. Special thanks to the restaurant chefs for the quality of the prepared dishes.

A wonderful sanatorium. I have been receiving treatment since 2010. Magnificent building and restaurant premises, good rooms. I am allergic, they always accommodate me halfway (Eva - many thanks to her). The doctors I saw were very attentive and sensitive (Nat. Krasenkova, Belov, Sofia). I caught a cold on 08/29/18. Nurse on duty at 6 o'clock. I measured t, gave rinses, saw Dr. Sofia at 8, took into account all my chronic diseases and prescribed treatment and a visit on September 30. The mattress is too hard for my back - they put a second one. More Pros: 1) Location - couldn't be better! (any source is close, on an excursion - nearby, if we are not leaving from the sanatorium; walking, breathing fresh air is not dangerous until late at night) 2) the Krivan sanatorium is not a hotel or SPA adapted for treatment, but a stationary sanatorium, from here we draw conclusions - regime and menu nutrition, thermal water supplied to the treatment base, more than 50 medical procedures at a high level, clear and organized work of the computer registry according to the treatment plan. 3) round-the-clock duty of medical staff, where they will provide first aid and measure blood pressure if necessary 4) it seems like such a small thing as the presence of airport scales (indicating the weight and size standards for luggage and the RK) in a convenient location, and how it helps with packing! Many friends, on my recommendation, appreciated this sanatorium and now come only to Krivan

Very good selection of procedures, excellent pool, very good location, everything is compact and in one place, the staff is friendly and welcoming, the doctors are understanding, there is no language barrier.

Negatives

Everything is fine, only this year the food was worse, especially with breakfast, if you arrive half an hour before the end, more than half of the assortment is already gone. Every day for breakfast the same thing. Also at the end of lunch time you won’t find dessert. Everything in the rooms is not bad, only the floors are very creaky, the soft covering is laid on old creaky parquet.

We noticed that it is difficult for older people to walk through the staircases, there is no opportunity for disabled people to visit this sanatorium, there is no fruit in the dining room in the month of August, breakfast is not enough for everyone, if the procedure is in the morning, then there is no chance of having breakfast, everything is empty, we were not in delighted with the food, we put a minus

I really like water treatments: baths, swimming pools and others. The staff works harmoniously and professionally. The location is excellent. The room is very comfortable and has everything you need. I was very pleased with my vacation!!! I hope to come here again.

Negatives

Often, there was not enough food. The most delicious dishes were immediately taken away and were not brought back. I'm talking about breakfast. Even ordinary eggs were not always available. And there are no fruits and berries at all - this is the biggest drawback.

I stayed at the Krivan sanatorium from August 12 to August 26, 2018. The final impression is very good. I won’t talk about solid three stars and price-quality ratio. It was my first time in a sanatorium. The most wonderful, kind people and excellent professionals work in Krivan. I would like to immediately thank the massage therapist Marek, the parafango sisters Stanechka and Monika, and the bath procedure sister Oksana. I don’t know the names of the nurses who do gas injections and ultrasound procedures, I am very grateful to them and I think it’s not just me. Always very attentive, friendly, asking how everything went. If someone asked to have the procedure done earlier or later, they always go to the meeting. I was 5 minutes late once. on parafango, but I had the procedure done in full.. The treatment base is quite powerful, everything that is indicated on the website corresponds to availability. The wellness center is modern, I really liked the pool and the same nice and polite people work there. If someone forgets the card, they won’t send you back, everything is on the computer, you can bring the card in. later. Special thanks to the chief physician - Dr. Ganzalova. At first glance, it may seem that she is a little slow, but in fact, she is a very attentive doctor, she meticulously studied all my certificates, asked serious questions when prescribing procedures, and asked my preferences. We arrived on Sunday and on the same day, we were seen by the head nurse and the doctor. And then we went to the doctor without an appointment more than once. In terms of nutrition, they are fed for slaughter. we took breakfast and dinner, and did not regret it, because... 4-5 procedures per day from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Taking into account the drinking rate, we even experienced some time pressure, it’s good that the hotel is located close to the springs. and dinner started early at 5:30 p.m. The waiters are kind and responsive. If some dishes run out, they always add more. and you don’t even have to ask. If you take some kind of sandwich with you, no one will say anything. I have read many reviews from 2017 and 2018 and I want to note that the comments made by previous guests have been implemented. But I would also leave some suggestions: 1) the floor in the locker room in the pool is slippery, a mat would be nice; 2) the buffet equipment in the dining room could use some updating; 3) you need to include fresh fruits in your diet. And two words about cleaning the room. We got a room in building 1 with windows facing the courtyard. The room is spacious with a refrigerator, kettle and no air conditioning. There is only solid and liquid soap in the bathroom. Shampoo and gel can be bought in Bill on Masaryk Street (200 m). There were renovation works going on in the courtyard during the day, but during the day we were almost not in the room, so it didn’t really bother us. The room was cleaned very carefully, linens were changed 3 times in 2 weeks, bathrobes - 2 times, towels almost every day. If the size of the robe does not fit, they will change it without any problems. Many thanks to Galina and Victoria, hard workers! At the reception, too, everything is civilized and correct, but a smile for the girls would not hurt.

Negatives

There was some negativity. The schedule of procedures is compiled by a nurse (I don’t know the name), a tall, thin blonde (there’s only one like that). He allows himself to be rude, shouts, throws documents. Replacement procedures cost 60 CZK or you need to go to the main doctor. I went more than once because errors kept appearing on the computer. When replacing, I lost 1 procedure - the swimming pool and 3 more for which I paid extra. In response to my request to return the pool, she switched to Czech with a hateful intonation. Of all the words, I understood only two - “Russia” and “baba”. And when I said that I would complain to the Sanatorium, that was the only thing that could stop her. As a result, gas injections were installed instead of a swimming pool. To say that the mood was ruined would be an understatement. I wanted to leave this sanatorium, despite paying almost 900 euros. I have never encountered such rudeness. It's just kind of crazy. Almost all the guests at the hotel are Russian, and we should not suffer because one of the employees has problems on ethnic grounds. And I went to the chief doctor Ganzalova and told everything. I don’t know what happened, but after that there was silence at the procedure scheduling counter. And yet, the Schedule is drawn up without our presence, so it must be checked immediately, otherwise you will spend a lot of time in queues. and pay attention to weekends (they don’t warn you) if you are going on an excursion, otherwise 60 CZK. Then, fortunately, everything went as described above in a positive way. The impression of Krivan was pleasant. except for the tall, skinny blonde.

Thank you. Everything was just perfect. The medical staff, the girls in the dining room, the technicians are all very friendly and attentive. The food is excellent, you have the opportunity to fill out the meat or fish menu according to your personal choice. Everything was delicious. The sanatorium is very conveniently located to the springs. All the staff speaks several languages, no problems. The package includes many procedures. Its own medical base. Of course, I would like a larger pool, well, that’s already the case... little things. If we come again, we’ll stay in Krivan again. Thanks to all the staff.

Negatives

Staff often don't listen well. They decide according to what they "think". As always, there are different people, including smiling and service-oriented ones, but, in general, you feel that they are the owners, and not the one who pays.

Karlovy Vary is a great place for different types of recreation; there is a place for active recreation - Nordic walking and walks in the surrounding area, interesting excursions, sanatorium treatment and beautiful nature.

Negatives

There are shortcomings in the food at the Krivan sanatorium. There is practically no fresh fruit. Vegetable salads are monotonous.

Positives

Good treatment and excellent medical staff, attentive and highly professional. Excellent work from the reception and doormen. Excellent work by Sanatoriums, organizing transfers, working as a tour guide (trip to Prague), thanks to the girl who organized the excursions, Irina.

Negatives

1) From the first day the refrigerator did not work, its door did not close, which is why it constantly leaked onto the furniture and the floor. More than once I contacted the cleaning staff at the reception to have it fixed, but to no avail. In 2 weeks, no one fixed it... 2) Disgusting staff in the restaurant, girls from Ukraine, with a sour face and disgust, are sent to the manager for all questions. There were also 2 Czech guys working there, tall, thin, normal, but the second guy doesn’t speak any language (they tried Russian, English, German), according to Rusik, he only knows the word “pi*dets,” which he constantly used. At the same time, as he passed by the tables, he muttered insults in Czech under his breath towards all the guests. And in general he gave the impression of a mentally ill person! 3) Dishes for lunch and dinner did not taste good. Since this is my second time coming to this hotel, nothing has changed since last year. I recommend measuring the cook, or sending him to advanced training courses. 4) As for cleaning, the first week was cleaned by a Czech girl, everything was great. She's a great guy and a very nice person. But then, in the second week, two girls came from Ukraine, they went together all the time. Nothing was cleaned or changed in the room, even the garbage lay there for several days. I only found them riding the elevator back and forth all day long. I would recommend that someone check the quality of cleaning, as the garbage lay there and stank for 3 days. 5) The Internet is terrible (especially building 3). It just doesn't catch and doesn't work. Last year there were no problems with the Internet. I hope that the hotel administration is able to recruit more qualified staff and supervise them.

People arriving for treatment can choose an active and useful treatment. In addition to the main procedures, there are additional sports ones. Nordic walking or Nordic walking. Beautiful views in the mountains of Karlovy Vary, and excellent positivity. The sanatorium also has a therapeutic pool with thermal water, wonderful procedure, do not refuse if you are offered.

I liked the location of the sanatorium and the medical facilities. It is very wide, and it is very convenient to go downstairs from your room for procedures in a robe. All the staff are very friendly and competent, I praise them!!!

Negatives

There is practically no fruit in the restaurant, the drops that were brought were immediately taken away, I missed that. The room was very cramped and the Wi-Fi in the room was slow. The hotel is very large and three-star, so it has met some very rough-and-tumble visitors. Next time I will try another hotel, but for the first time everything is fine.

Located in the center but not on the promenade. Quiet, not hot, despite the hot summer this year. The concert of musicians from the Philharmonic added positivity to the mood. Cleaning rooms. Frequent changes of linen were done clearly and unnoticeably. They fed us like they were being slaughtered. I don't eat that much at home. The medical staff is always helpful and will change the time of the procedure. I liked everything, I have something to compare with. We decided to come and stay in Krivan again.

Negatives

It’s better to put fresh fruit on everyone’s plate, otherwise it’s not enough to quickly add dishes to the buffet. But these are minor things, everything is fine. Thank you.

If you are used to Michelin-starred restaurants, then this is not the place for you. the dining room cooks very tasty and high quality, the main dishes are always prepared by stewing, baking or other gentle processing; and in case you want to supplement your diet with high-calorie and fried foods, you can always do this at the buffet. Everyone is free to invent salads themselves, the material is provided to you, and you combine them; usually the buffet has: shredded cabbage, grated carrots, and grated radish, slices of tomatoes and cucumbers, two types of sauces for dressing salads and vegetable oil. Three types of soups: puree, cold and vegetable. I would like to especially note that despite the fact that there are people dissatisfied with the food, everyone upon departure complains that they have gained weight;) The medical care is conscientious, I did not have to additionally cajole the doctors or nurses so that they would do their job well. Working in such sanatoriums is a hell of a conveyor belt, there are hundreds of us and everyone has their own claims: open the window for one, close the window for another, it’s noisy for the third... for example, during a massage, one large room divided into 10 cabins, in each one they massage someone every 20 minutes a new person, doctors work hard like robots. Room cleaning is excellent, clean towels every 2 days, clean bed linen every 4 days.

Negatives

The dining room has two problems: people who, at the expense of the buffet, compensate themselves for dinner or lunch that they did not buy in order to reduce the cost of the trip; and procedures prescribed during breakfast or lunch by the girls from the medical unit. It happens that a procedure that lasts an hour was scheduled for you at 12:30, and lunch starts at 12 and ends at 13:30. You can have lunch in 30 minutes only if you entered the dining room first, caught your waiter and asked him to bring I’m going urgently, because you have a procedure (at the same time, there is only one waiter, and he has 15 tables of 4 people at each) About accommodation in the room: if the windows face the courtyard-well, then you always hear the noise of working ventilation and no later than 6: 00 you are woken up by a car coming to pick up garbage (although you don’t care if you get up at 6 and go drink water). If the windows face the street, during the day, on weekdays, renovations of the building opposite continue.

Positives

Convenient location, almost in the city center next to the colonnades. At first we were given a room with separate beds (married couple - hmm?), but at our request they changed it, although after 4 days. We got a wonderful large room with two windows and in a comfortable building.

Negatives

There are no air conditioners or even fans in the resort. In hot July it was very difficult to be in the room, even at night. The food leaves much to be desired. In addition, if after the procedures you come for lunch or breakfast later, you risk not finding parts of the dishes at all. Elementary is not enough. Almost no fruit. The treatment is good, but scheduling these very procedures is worse than ever. How can you put an 80+ elderly person in the pool at 12:30, if lunch is from 12 to 13:30? Finally, the sanatorium has a paid garage. Yes, there is one, about 300 meters from the sanatorium, but you can’t open it or close it yourself, you have to take a card at the reception, they don’t give you a card, the traffic on the street is one-way. In general, you don’t want to take the car again, take the card, run to the garage, take the car out, park it next to the garage, risking a fine, run back to the sanatorium and return the card. While other visitors to the garage (probably from another hospital) had this same card.

Answer from Spa Hotel Krivan

Vážená paní Sharipova, Нам очень жаль, что вам не понравилось питание. Наше меню состоит из 10 блюд, которые не повторяются в трехнедельном цикле. Это рецепты, которые соответствуют различным требованиям - диетические, диабетические, религиозные. Мы - трехзвездочный отель, и наше предложение довольно широкое.
